      Hi Alex, boy your so right. If you can go without meds that's great. I couldn't and yes ill be tied to it no matter how small the dose, but my quality of life is awesome. I never stay home. I'm bubbly, outgoing, no fears. This illnes has made me personally a stronger person meaning if I can handle and battle my setbacks I can stand up to anything in life. And I have. 😊

    Hi Paul.  Another thing you could try while you're waiting is Mindful Meditiation.  Don't be put off by the word 'Meditation' as it's not a case of sitting cross legged and saying 'Ummmmm', it's just a gentle way of stopping your mind racing away with negative thoughts and brining you back into the current moment.  One of the top selling books is Mindfulness: A Practical Guide to Peace in a Frantic World by Prof. Mark Williams.  I found it really helpful and it has a really easy to follow step by step guide.  You'll still need other therapy, but it's another thing to help you on your way to recovery.

      Thanks, will have a look at this book. I practice mindfulness meditation but can always learn something new. Its invaluable, I dont know how I managed before I discovered it. Also concentrating on one thing that youenjoy and that absorbs you like for me tin whistle - very cheap, sudoku, keyboard, singing, whatever. But mindfulness meditation or indeed any type of meditation best thing ever, simple, nothing mysterious or co plicated.
